First "Official" Entry: Last few weeks in Bloomington

I've spent the last few weeks before my trip completing unfinished projects and making headway on new ones. It's mildly unsettling to think that I won't be able to work on anything (besides through e-mail) for three months. I think it will be refreshing when I finally leave and will be able to enjoy my experiences without home-town attachments.

Here, I'm working on a last minute fundraiser. I baked and sold about 600 ginger-snap cookies in boxes (with my mom's help of course). It was successful making about $240 profit for our school greenhouse and garden fund. Click the picture to get the recipe.

Where the heck is Nimbin?

Nimbin is a small suburb of Lismore, New South Wales. I marked it with that little red-yellow dot on the bottom right. Click on the map for more info on Nimbin. 

Info about Djanbung Gardens

For January, February and March, I will be taking permaculture certification classes and living at Djanbung Gardens. It is located in Nimbin, New South Wales, Australia. Visit their website for more info about the gardens and permaculture in general at: www.earthwise.org.au/
